Make big plans; aim high in hopeand work."

Trend: The Possibilities of Broadband
• 3D Interfaces• Video Conferencing• True Web Based Computing
– Virtual Machines Make OS Almost Irrelevant
– Basic Applications from the Grid– Personal Computers -> Personal
Computing Space Hosted on Any Machine

Trend: Massive Scale Librarianship
• Massive Bandwidth• Massive Storage
– What happens when you can keep it all?
• Massive Processing– What happens when
every terminal is a supercomputer?

Gigabyte per Mile• Soon Every Mile of
Road will Generate a Gigabyte of data a day– Road Sensors, Real-
Time Traffic Data, Weather Information, Toll Data, Car Black Boxes

• It is assumed that this will become a gigabyte an hour. As there are 3.5 million miles (5.6 million km) of highways in the U.S. that would be 3.3 petabytes of data per hour, or 28 exabytes per year.

Issues• Privacy
– Total Information Awareness (DARPA)
• Ethics of Involvement– Unintended Censorship
• Commercialization and Scarcity– Radar Data
• Unintended Consequences– AOL Search Logs
• Security– eVoting and Diebold
• Preservation: Migration and Emulation– The Abandoned Grad
Student at DRI• Culture and Control
– Google goes to China
• Cognition and Perceptual Scarcity– A weekday edition of the New York Times
contains more information than the average person was likely to come across in a lifetime in seventeenth-century England. More new information has been produced in the last 30 years than in the previous 5,000. (Wurman)
• Scalability and Sustainability– Ask.com operations VP Dayne Sampson
estimates that the five leading search companies together have some 2 million servers, each shedding 300 watts of heat annually, a total of 600 megawatts. These are linked to hard drives that dissipate perhaps another gigawatt. Fifty percent again as much power is required to cool this searing heat, for a total of 2.4 gigawatts. With a third of the incoming power already lost to the grid's inefficiencies, and half of what's left lost to power supplies, transformers, and converters, the total of electricity consumed by major search engines in 2006 approaches 5 gigawatts...almost enough to power the Las Vegas metropolitan area – with all its hotels, casinos, restaurants, and convention centers – on the hottest day of the year.

Engage!
• To Ignore the Implications of Massive Scale Computing is Dangerous.– It Abdicates Serious Decisions and Consequences
to Others• Massive Scale Librarianship is an Opportunity
to Not Only Enhance the Mission of the Library, but Proactively Position Librarians at the Forefront of the Information Field...Where they Belong
